I know someone who has the USS Roosevelt 1/720 model by Italeri and has successfully converted it to RC using 7 Zipzaps (2 were for the catapults on the flight deck so that now it will launch little planes ) Problem is his boat is so heavy it sits in the water with some small ripples will get water on the flight deck. (would take pics but we don`t have a digital camera) The planes are made of solid plastic and will float so that you can retrieve them but i can still take him down with my Lindberg Blue devil, Although i do end up with planes all tangled in my superstucture
